Tasting Notes

Nose

Saigon cinnamon is abundant at the beginning and lasts throughout the dram like fresh baked cinnamon rolls. Dried apricot comes through adding a tender ripeness to the nose. Mint and baby powder mingle in the middle, whereas marzipan and graham cracker give a nutty quality near the end. Smoked vanilla wafts in and out throughout the nose, but most notably at the end.

Palate

Cherry and hot cinnamon remind me of refined Hot Tamales candy with the touch of dried oak I pick up on the palate. Once the sweetness of brown sugar hits, that is also when the stone fruit comes through. It goes from candy to creamy oats. The finish is spicy with a little added orange zest.
